Artsy Fartsy Florals was created by me, Tara Glapion.

I am a certified floral designer from Texas that started my design work in Nashville. I started working with flowers at a young age helping my grandmother, Elaine Campbell Townes, who was an established florist in her community for over 30 years. Since I was a little girl, I dreamed of opening my own business “Artsy Fartsy” and wanted it to be half art gallery, half florist shop. That dream is now a reality, as I am an Art Sales Rep for my husband, Jonathan Glapion, and the owner and floral designer for Artsy Fartsy Florals. I went to New York Institute of Art and Design, where I got my certification in Floral Design. I like to think outside the box and create beautiful things with palettes and textures that might be unexpected.
